First big ship experience
Alan Robinson | June 5, 2023 | P&O Cruises | Arvia
This was our first time on one of P&Os big ships, we have previously been on the small ones and were a bit apprehensive. Boarding was busy but smooth, the queues kept moving. Ship is very impressive, liked the selection of restaurants, worth paying the extra for a change. Keel and Cow was my favourite. A bit disappointed with the entertainment, Headliners shows are more about the technology than the dancing. 710 club was brilliant. Our biggest negative is the shortage of waiting staff in the bars, even when they are not that busy it is difficult to attract their attention. This is one cost saving too far in my opinion. On the whole we enjoyed the cruise and would use Arvia again.
